Brownie Guide enviro-art workshop
The Environmental Art Collective visited Bardon Girl Guides and Brownies to hold an enviro-art workshop. Leah Hattendorff, Stephanie Davies, Amanda Carter and Belinda James talked with the girls about stream health and what they can do to preserve Ithaca creek. Inspired by their natural environment (Ithaca creek runs right through their backyard) and a passion for keeping it beautiful, the girls got creative and produced these vibrant pieces.
The collective’s first Enviro-art workshop was a huge success. It was obvious that the Guides and their Leaders had pride in their local environment and this was evident in their artwork. The pieces depict everything from urban stream landscapes to evil cane toads!
We would like to thank the Bardon Guide Leaders, especially Margaret Miller, and of course the Brownies and Guides for donating their artwork to the exhibition.

World toilet day
The Environmental Art Collective took part in an exhibition on WORLD TOILET DAY, a day to raise awareness of the lack of basic sanitation in developing nations - a major cause of sickness and death around the world. 200 hand painted porcelain toilets were exhibited in Queen Street Mall, to draw public attention to this ongoing serious issue.
Ithaca Creek Science Week
The Environmental Art Collective joined Ithaca Creek Science Week in a series of educational activities
developed by former Ithaca Intact Coordinator Kristy Willet. Belinda and Amanda volunteered as Ithaca Investigators running workshops on botanical drawing and aquatic invertebrates. In conjunction with Ithaca Intact Science Week Belinda has also developed the collective’s first educational handout showing some easy to use ideas and art techniques for Grade 1-4.
